The following are some of the events that took place recently:
v Rev. Tom Amenkhienan, a senior Minister and Director of churches in our Ministry worldwide, visited South Africa in June 2005 and was subjected to a most humiliating search at the Airport.
v On October 8 2005, some of our visiting church staff from Nigeria who were in the country for the convention that was being organized by the Ministry in South African were trailed from the airport by unidentified armed policemen of our Church premises and where ordered to submit themselves for an embarrassing search. These unidentified policemen threatened to kill our resident senior Pastor, should he object to their search. This shocking incident was immediately reported at the Randburg Police Station whereupon a case file was opened because Policemen are not known for killing people.
v Rev. Chris Oyakhilome (the founder and President of our Ministry), and his entourage, who had just finished a 4-day convention in Johannesburg were held up at the Airport on their way back to Nigeria on 18th October 2005 for about minutes without any explanation and would have missed their flight for an important meeting in Nigeria.
v On October 19 2005, two armed plain-clothes policemen came to our premises, 333 Pretoria Avenue Randburg asking to see two of our Pastors in the most aggressive manner. They refused to identify themselves and the purpose for which they came.
v On October 24 2005, Pastor Oluwatomisin Fashina, one of our Pastors and Directors in South Africa was traveling to London and was subjected to a humiliating search. On 30 October 2005, he arrived back from London and he was immediately accosted and subjected to the same humiliating and a most embarrassing search by Constables Muleya and Ngwenya at the Border police offices in the Airport.
We are a Christian orgarnisation, with Directors and Pastors, who are law-abiding residents and Citizens of the Republic of South Africa. We do not have any intention of constituting a threat to anybody or organization. We have not committed any act that contravenes the laws of the Republic. We believe that if the authorities have anything against us, a due process should be followed to address the concerns.
Due to the various unpleasant encounters we have had with the police recent times, we do not feel safe any longer and we are concerned for our security. Consequently, we appeal to you to use your good office in addressing urgently this ugly situation.
For more information about our Ministry please visit our website: www.christembassy.org
We look forward to getting a quick from your office.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Rev. K. I. Oyakhilome
Signed.

Political Odyssey of chief Madu Ndigba(a belief in totems by an African leader) An Allegory.part19
As part of our global Ministry activities and vision, we have also established the following in South Africa.
Ø Christ Embassy Healing School (registered). This is a Healing Ministry of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the President and Founder of our Ministry. - In this School, we teach South African people who are sick how to receive their healing through the word of God. This is based on a divine mandate from the word or God because our Lord Jesus Christ when He walked the streets of the Earth healed the sick and cast out devils (Mark 16: 15-18). We have testimonies of many South African people who testified of their healing and others received miracles to the glory of the Lord. It is worthy of note at this stage that all these we have done for the South African people at no cost.
Ø Loveworld Christian Network (Pty) Limited. This is the television arm of our Ministry which is being beamed on Pas/1 0 through Sentech operating 24 hour a day, seven days a week, transmitting the gospel of Jesus Christ to the peoples of the earth.
Ø Loveworld Books and Tapes, (cc). This is a publishing arm of our Ministry. Through this entity, Pastor Chris’ books are made available to the public.
Ø We have a very active Campus Ministry in several Universities and other tertiary institutions in South Africa.
Ø We also have a very active Hospital and Prison Ministry throughout South Africa.
In recent times, certain events have occurred which are most unpleasant to our organization. Due to the seriousness of these events, the Directors of our organization have now considered it imperative to bring the matter to your attention. Several of our officials have been subjected to harassment, intimidation and humiliation in a most dehumanizing manner by the officials of South African Police Service.

Political Odyssey of chief Madu Ndigba{a belief in totems by an African leader] An Allegory. Part17
Ø The convening of a “Sovereign National Conference”, to reassess the basis for Nigeria’s continued existence as one country.
Ø An end to Nigeria’s continued occupation of Biafran Territory.
Ø Recognizing Biafra as a sovereign Nation.
Ø Granting Liberation fighters’ status to the Movement for Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra and its affiliate Movements around the world.
Ø Allowing Biafran representation at the African Union, Pan-African Parliament and United Nations.
He politely assured them that the memo will be transmitted to New York. In football matches involving, falcons, super eagles or any Nigerian club, they constitute a cheering crowd as they adorn their cars with flags of the ‘rising sun’.
The Chief was in a dilemma then as to whether to identify with this group as this would conflict with his status in the ruling party. At the end of this unusual briefing, Chief Madu Ndigba spat on the floor and muttered ‘tufiaqwa’.
Harassment of Nigerian Preachers of Churchmen
A member of MASSOB, Rev. IJE Odumedu Nduka while briefing Chief, who is an elder in his church, complained of the unexpected harassment by South African Security forces. To support his complaint, he tendered a letter from Rev. Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy, addressed to the Commissioner of Police Gauteng Province. He felt the Chief was in position to take up this matter at a political level on his return to Nigeria. We reproduce herewith full text of letter which was copied to many responsible persons. The letter speaks for itself.

Political Odyssey of Chief Madu Ndigba[a belief in totems by an African leader] An Allegory Part 16
In the case involving this governor, he was advised to go to Mauritius instead of South Africa and Namibia, to see a Game Reserve!
He was also briefed on the action of Massob, who occupy the Hillbrow area of Johannesburg. Massob is made up of Nigerians who immigrated to South Africa in the Abacha days an after. They have come to look for greener pastures in new South Africa. Some of them had U.N. laissez passez and were treated as refugees until the advent of new democratic government. Since they are not interested in going back, they intend to make South Africa their home. Unfortunately, their life style and occupation bring them into conflict with law enforcement officers. To legitimize their stay, some have married South Africans. A good number do carry unique Biafran identity and do not pretend otherwise. They have staged a demonstration in front of Union Building, Pretoria, seat of Government, as well as submitted memorandum to U.N. representative. The list of signatories of the memo, included Nigerians from Middle belt, Delta especially NNDC States! This definition was at variance of what we know of Biafra. In addition, U.N. officials and the Representative of the U.N. in Pretoria informed them that according to the Monte Video Convention on Rights and Duties of States 1933, Biafra must posses a defined territory, a permanent population, a government in control of the territory especially the capital as well as the capacity to enter into relations with other states. The leader was down cast as he heard from the horse’s mouth.It is recalled that the Biafran question had since been resolved with the surrender of Biafran “General Philip Effiong and the then military leadership in 1970. Ironically, the surrender was received by General Obasanjo who was then field commander. The memo of the Biafran National Congress representative dated 27 May, 2005, addressed to U.N. Secretary General, demanded:
Ø An end to the Nigerian State sponsored assassination, disappearance, arrest and or torture of leaders, members and comrades of the Movement for Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).
Ø The release of Leaders, members and comrades of Movement for Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra currently being held in various prisons, Police holding cells and or detention camps across Nigeria.
Ø An end to the harassment and muscling up of the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, its leaders, members, comrades and or affiliate Movements around the world.
